Up Tasmania's East Coast

We did not let the fact that Caitlin was only visiting for a few days deter us from cramming in as many trips to Tasmania's best places as we possibly could! Next leg, up the East Coast!

Afternoon Tea stop at Kate's Berry Farm

Kate loves BC

Tasmania's biggest export crop isn't dairy, salmon, lumber, or wine, but opium. In fact the ideal growing conditions produce almost half of the world's medicinal opiates, an industry that brings multi-millions of dollars to the small island economy.

Stay away from our opium!

Of course we also had to do a few winery stops along the way...

Milton Vineyard

Freycinet Vineyard

Caitlin spoiled us by buying us this very fancy bottle of Freycinet Pinot Noir as a wedding gift! It is currently being cellared in Canada for a future anniversary!

Welcome to our travel blog. Our amazing trip through Latin America came to an end in December 2009 and we are currently living in Australia. However, we will continue to publish posts every few days until we are caught up.
